At this time of year CBC Radio starts playing a lot of repeats and "special programming". The special programming is produced by the junior producers who are really auditioning for bigger and better things. They have to pitch these ideas to CBC management (or have them pitched to them by CBC management).
Unfortunately, these shows tend to be inane. I call them the "Musical Tours of the Outhouses of Eastern Ontario" and I do my best to avoid them. Part of these efforts includes borrowing books-on-cd to listen to instead of the radio.
To that end, I just finished Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not. This is the brilliant, sarcastic and very funny story of Wigfield, a town that is threatened by destruction when the governement destroys the local dam. Read by the authors Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert, this book on CD is laugh a minute funny. Worth getting on CD just to hear the delivery.
And I have hours more of other books to listen to.
